A free bushfire safety workshop for women

The award winning Firey Women workshops provide women with a safe non-threatening environment to learn new skills to help protect their families and livelihoods. The workshops cover both information and practical sessions over two days.

This is a two day workshop, so attendance is required on both days to achieve full workshop benefit.

Workshop topics include:

Preparing yourself emotionally

Understanding Fire Danger Ratings and warnings

Discussing the differences between a "leave early" and a "stay and defend" plan

Preparing a Bushfire Survival Plan

Identifying hazards around the home

Operating pumps and firefighting equipment

Understanding bushfire behaviour

Workshop sessions:

Firey Women can be run as a two day workshop, or over four evenings, depending on the needs of the community and are offered between May and September each year.
